This is OK, as long as the sizes are distinctly different and they should be published at the same time.Īn artist's proof in modern practice is usually used to describe an impression of the finished work that is identical to the numbered copies. Sometimes limited editions are published at different sizes. There will also be Artists Proofs (APs) numbering up to a maximum of 10% of the edition, and sometimes Printer’s Proofs (PPs) which are usually kept by the printer, or Hors Commerce prints (HCs) which are used by the publisher for promotional purposes. If your print is number 70 of 295 then it really is just that: the 70th numbered print in a total edition of 295. The very nature of a limited edition print is that it is limited, forever, to the total number detailed in the original edition. If you require a precise measurement please get in touch.

Following his brief from Bernie Taupin, Alan Aldridge took the stories contained within the album and created a complete world of trippy imagery and fantastical creatures surrounding Elton John and his piano, earning Aldridge his second Grammy nomination.
It is a concept album that gives an autobiographical glimpse at the struggles John (Captain Fantastic) and Taupin (the Brown Dirt Cowboy) had in the early years of their musical careers in London (from 1967 to 1969). This album cover art print is one of two produced by the artist Alan Aldridge for Hypergallery in 2012 and only a small percentage of the edition was ever printed and signed before Aldridge died in 2017.Ĭaptain Fantastic, released in 1975, has been hailed by many as the best Elton John album ever.
